Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Problems pretty much from day one. Clutch slave cylinder failure which meant a complete dual mass clutch change. Catalogue of electric all issues, rear windows didn't work heating blower only worked on three settings, reverse sensors intermittently failed resulting in a continuous tone when reverse gear selected. Repairs expensive as lots of components have to be removed to gain access for any repairs. This meant diy repairs practically impossible. Check injection message and occasional loss of power, garage repeatedly tried to rectify this issue but to no avail, they were baffled as to what the cause was. On the plus side the engine was powerful and responsive (when it was working properly) very comfortable car, especially on long journeys, great panoramic sunroof and loads of space and storage. This was my second Renault (first was a Renault 9, many years ago) and both were terrible, would never but another.

How reliable do you find the car?
